Shift Point Road Test

NOTE: Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.

Most performance based automatic transmission DTC s require the fault to be detected multiple times before setting a DTC . In many instances the faults musts be detected consecutively a predetermined number of times (up to five). Performing the shift point road test as detailed below increases the likelihood that a DTC sets if a fault is present in the system.

1. Bring engine and transmission up to normal operating temperature.
   

1. Operate the vehicle with the selector lever in the D position.
   

1. Apply minimum throttle and observe speeds when an upshift occurs. Refer to the Shift Speeds chart.
   

1. With the selector lever in the D position and speed above 80 km/h (50 mph) and less than half throttle, move the selector lever from the D position to manual 2 position and release the accelerator pedal. The transmission should downshift into 2nd gear. With the transmission remaining in the manual 2 position, move the selector lever into the manual 1 position and release the accelerator pedal. The transmission should downshift into 1st gear at speeds below approximately 45-56 km/h (28-35 mph).
   

1. If the transmission fails to upshift/downshift, REFER to: Diagnosis By Symptom (307-01B Automatic Transmission - 6-Speed Automatic Transmission – 6F35, Diagnosis and Testing).
